DIGITAL CINEMA PRESENTATION
Aldrich crafted one of the all-time great noirs, at once a thrilling crime flick and a critique of tough-guy heroics (and specifically Mickey Spillane's eponymous novel). Gumshoe Mike Hammer (Minneapolis native Ralph Meeker) picks up a half-naked hitchhiker, who leads him to a mysterious glowing briefcase, and a possible police cover-up. Kiss Me Deadly influenced countless films, including Breathless, Repo Man, Pulp Fiction, and even Raiders of the Lost Ark.
Presented by The Heights Theater and The Trylon Cinema.
